yet to be decided.

My mother and I left Angola for swazland with a total sum of US$15.5M (Fifteen
million ,five hundred thousand US Dollars), sealed in a diplomatic baggage
meant for the purchase of arms from South Africa On Arrival in swazland,
because we are political asylum seekers, we were not allowed to operate
a bank account.

So with the instruction of my father , I contacted our family lawyer to
deposited the money in a security company in Spain[GLOBAL SECURITY AND FINANCE
COMPANY].

Though I instructed him not to reveal the content of the baggage to the
security company nor declare the actual content to it, because we wanted
